Leo (Jonah Hill): If you put "cute kitten" in the title of our YouTube video, you're going to get 1,000,000 hits.
Here's to you Leo:
Facebook is similar - pictures with Deborah get the most "likes", followed closely by photos of my boys, family and finally pictures of Beth and I. When friends post things about weddings their pages explode and I get the most friend interaction any time I mention beer in my status.
I think that if I had a status update from a wedding, which included a picture of Deborah sitting with a couple kittens, holding a High Life - my page would become so popular that a hole might tare in the space time continuum.
I'm sort of stuck with a "Catch 22". I write this blog because I enjoy it, because it makes me think about why I'm sacrificing sold foods, what my relationship with God is, how I can improve my relationship with God, how I can improve other aspects of my life - but the blog also messes with me.
I look to see how many people read my posts and then wonder "what could I do to make it more popular?", which is selfish and something I need to work to avoid. This experience should not be centered on me and therefore the blog should not be my personal ego stroke. This blog is important to me, but I need to work on the reason as to why it is important. So far, 9-days into this I'm finding more questions and giving myself more projects than I'm fixing. I still have 34-days until I eat solid foods again and 37-days until Easter, so I'm not yet impatient but, yeah.
Anyway, going out to grab a beer with a buddy tonight so I used my "lunch break" to throw down these thoughts.
Started the day at 200 lbs - will end it a with a beer or two.
